We knew a guy who would always look directly at us without blinking when he was talking.

lyrics

V1
Sometimes you meet people who
Took too much acid

Back in the 90s when
Things looked like plastic

They’ve settled down with jobs
And wives and husbands and children

Some even bought a boat
With all their millions

CH
But you can always tell
They're not really there
When they look at you with
The acid stare

V2
They look straight through your face
When they are talking

Examining the atoms of your skin
Like Stephen hawking
They can see the universe
In the tiny drop of water

But they still don’t know where they are
Or how they got there

CH
But you can always tell
They don’t really care
When they look at you with
The acid stare

V3
I used to wish that I
Could get more acid
In the two-thousands when
Emotions blasted

But now I’m glad
Things didn’t go there
Cause I’m not really fried
Not completely, anyway

CH
But you can always tell
I'm not really there
When I look at you with
The acid stare

V4
My old boss at the restaurant
Looked so intently
At what I was doing
But he spoke so gently

He freaked me out a bit
When I worked there as a kid
But I don’t mind it
Now that I understand

CH
But you could always tell
He's not really there
When he would look at you with
The acid stare
